Sometimes the roots aren't the biggest problem — the pipe is.
During this sewer cleaning, we encountered heavy root intrusion approximately 63 feet into the line. We were able to remove the roots at this location, exposing a broken section of clay sewer pipe with damage along the side and bottom.
The damaged section prevented us from safely advancing our equipment farther downstream to reach an additional root mass located near the sewer tap.
This is why sewer camera inspections are so important. Removing roots can restore access and expose what's actually happening underground — but when the pipe itself is structurally damaged, cleaning alone can't correct the underlying problem.
